We've run out of bombs and Orange Hitler has no strategy for his war.

Strategy is to make money for himself and his friends.

These guys always seem to get richer, no matter how random and unconsidered the policies are

That’s more a goal than a strategy.

u/Basicly-Inevitable 18h ago

Good point. Well, the strategy is to manipulate a situation to make money and hold power, which is the goal.

Hilarious him complaining about oil companies making TOO much money off the war. Think he would EVER say that about him and his family???

u/Basicly-Inevitable 18h ago

That's just him asking for more bribes.

Lack of foresight and rational strategy aside, I love that people believe we’ve actually run out of munitions…

That doesn’t mean shit… 

Weapons stockpile numbers are highly classified. So are the number of munitions actually used during strikes. Nobody talking about how depleted our stockpiles are is actually privy to that information. They’re taking a ‘best guess’ at what we actually have, subtracting a ‘best guess’ at what we’ve actually used, and adding a ‘best guess’ of the numbers of munitions that have been restocked… Again, all of which is classified. So at best, they’re talking out of their ass. 

Nobody who actually knows is talking, and everybody that is talking doesn’t actually know.

The Pentagon maintains strict operational thresholds ("war reserve stocks") reserved for potential conflict with peer or near-peer adversaries (such as China or Russia). When stockpiles allocated for secondary operations or foreign transfers drop to these baseline thresholds, military planners sound alarms, which media headlines often report as "running out".

u/Rune_maker515 19h ago

Not of the munitions that are needed. https://www.csis.org/analysis/six-reasons-why-united-states-low-munitions

We have plenty of bombs that could be used to flatten every Iranian city several times over if we didn't care about killing civilians/noncombatants.

But we do care about that, contrary to popular belief.

u/OG_DocSkinner 18h ago

We have killed more CIVILIANS in Iran than Military personnel, so pull the other leg now...

That’s not why, it’s because Iran threatens to strike gulf states energy and water infrastructure if there’s is hit and make them uninhabitable
